Niafron tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2 combination. Starters: Preta - Sengel, Lang, Darty - Bini, Vidigal, van der Zalm, Borken, Łepka - Redemien, Nonneman.

Niafron's K. Borken was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 13 minutes. 26 minutes had elapsed when a great chance for Bayern to take the lead after a good cross from the right found L. Pacher alone with the keeper, but he chipped it to the wrong side of the post. 32 minutes in, Bayern's W. Beuker received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. At 35 minutes played, A. Verkulevičius came in from the right with the intention of giving Bayern the lead, but his rocket of a shot rattled the crossbar. Bayern took the lead after 37 minutes as a result of W. Beuker's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 1 - 0. The teams went for the halftime break at 1 - 0. Bayern had most of the ball, with 66 percent of possession.

R. Roblin should probably have put his team up another goal after 50 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by L. Preta kept the visitors in the game. After 51 minutes Niafron tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, A. Nonneman's shot sailed wide after his break down the right. 75 minutes into the match, the speedy J. Estelrich easily outpaced C. van der Zalm, chipped the keeper and made the score 2 - 0. Confident in their lead, Bayern's players relaxed and focused more on defending the lead than increasing it. Coming from the right, R. Roblin almost managed to score another goal for Bayern, but his header was tipped over the bar by the visitors' keeper. F. Pérez-Serrano left the field with a smile on his face as he was substituted 89 minutes into the game, as his team was in the lead. A. Ruiz was the replacement. The Bayern players could smell victory in the air. S. Lavater wasn't in a hurry to leave the field as he was substituted for R. Smajlagić after 89 minutes. Bayern enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 65 percent of possession.

Bayern's best player was L. Pacher. A. Ruiz was a disappointment, however. Niafron's top performer was clearly P. Sengel. R. Łepka on the other hand, had a terrible day. The match ends 2 - 0.
